Service is well organised

Been here for X-rays mainly. The service is well organised, its really easy to find your way around but its a long walk from departments. They send letters to me about appointments before hand, good communication.

9 hours wait

Accident and emergency services
September 8, 2023
9 hours wait, I was told I was going to be kept in. Then I was told I wasn’t going to be kept in. Waited 2 and a half hours for painkillers, ended up taking my own which I wasn’t happy with. It was a shame, people were being left and were sharing cannula poles. Nurse said it was getting busier and they have a lot of mental health, alcohol and drugs related people. They don’t bother about you.

Waiting for 12 hours

Discharged myself after waiting for 12 hours. No excuses for what I saw. Someone who was a danger to the community but sent him home to wait for mental health services. Just disgusting.

They didn’t look after her well

Mom was really ill in there, couldn’t feed herself and food and drink was left in front of her. They didn’t look after her well and stole jewelry off her when she was there. Terrible hospital.

Outstanding - take time to listen

I went to the outpatients for tremors, the hospital is much better than Good Hope - there's no comparison. Staff are good on the whole. They're sometimes outstanding, they take time to listen.

Leaflet full of medical jargon not accessible

September 8, 2023
I had an audiology appointment and they said they had booked an interpreter but when I turned up there wasn't one there. I decided to go ahead with the appointment without an interpreter and carried on with the appointment. But I feel that the professional didn't have an understanding. They assume that deaf people can lip read or that giving a leaflet full of medical jargon is making the service accessible but not ensuring that the information is understood. Even when interpreters are present, they cannot always stay for the full consultation because they can turn up late and the appointment can feel rushed. Then you can't full concentrate because you're conscious of the time pressures.
